Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. Itdidn’t take long until we realized we couldn’t stop there. During the past 11 years we celebraterubber stamping in its full glory by giving access to people around the world to a one stopshop. Rubber stamps still remain the heart of our business and we are celebrating by hostinga STAMPtember® event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubberstamping. Part of the enticement of rubber stamping is that stamps can be used in creating orcomplementing ANYTHING! From stamping dates on bank documents and postage parcelsin the early 18th century, rubber stamping has dramatically expanded to include card making,scrapbooking, mixed media, life documenting, art journaling, and many forms of altering and expressing art.

it's my pleasure to be participating in the STAMPTEMBER celebration over at SIMON SAYS today...
